Are others having issues with the DB Challenge exercise? I get stuck every time I need to do a back left lunge. It either doesn't recognize it at all, or will make the motion, but timer will not move. I have tried all sorts of combinations of movements trying to get past this point, but have always ended up just skipping the exercise.|||Forget to specify the platform. This is on the WII.|||I have to skip this exercise every time.
I have the exact same issue.
I got it to work once when I was actually sitting on the floor with my arm back.
it really bothers me because I know I'm doing a back left lunge.
I've tried everything anyone asked me to try.
|||I had problems at first. But when I put my arm closer to the ground it work fine.|||I have tried everything. arm touching the ground, right arm in the air. it doesn't recognize any movement i do on back left lunge.
it's worked maybe twice the entire time Ive had the game.
|||I found a comment a short while back that the right hand position is as important as the left. Specifically, the Wiimote has to be in your right hand and pointing upwards at your chest. I had the same recognition problems as those described here and the change made an improvement that I can actually finish this part of the drill now. I still have to move my left arm around sometimes to find that "perfect angle" but when I see the timer count down, I just try to hold whatever position I happen to be in.
I'm still trying to earn the "Use your head" achievement but no joy after a half dozen attempts so far.|||After struggling with this and doing lots of experimentation over the past 5 weeks, I've started to have a bit of success with the lunges....by not trying so hard. Seriously, it appears not to take much of a lunge to get it to register. The mistake I think I made was in believing that if it wasn't registering I probably needed to go into a deeper lunge. Not necessarily, as I've had success in the last few workouts by pulling things in a bit, and making minor adjustments when I'm there. I've only ever had success when the Wii remote was perpendicular to the floor, for starters. Another adjustment that helped has been to make the heel of the trailing leg is off the floor. Just making that subtle adjustment alone has often started the on-screen timer and allowed me to advance to the next instructions.
Now if only somebody could help me to figure out the DB Heads Up Challenge...can't seem to get this one figured out.|||Here is what has worked for me:
Think of them as slight modifications of the split lunges that we do in other parts of the workout, the only difference being that you are adding left, right and backward shifts to the movement.
If you are lunging to the left side lead with your left leg, to the right side lead with your right leg.
The lead/front leg should be bent at the knee at a 90 degree angle, and the trailing leg should be straight with your heel off the floor (just like with the straight on split lunge).
The Wii remote should be pointing straight down at the floor, hanging straight down from your shoulder and parallel with the lead leg (which again should have a 90 degree bend at the knee).
Hope this helps. It has been working pretty consistently for me. And remember that the lunges in this challenge should not look much different from the split lunges you are already doing, except for the direction you are doing them in.|||Success! Clasping the WII Remote to my chest when lunging back seemed to do the trick. Now that I've gotten through this one, I'm not sure it was worth the effort. This is one lame exercise.|||This is a bunch of Bull.. I spent all this loot on this game that does not fuction properly. I am reading everyone's ideas to how to get the game to work and none of this is any help. Secondly this game is designed to work based on our bodies so why in the hell are we adjusting for the game? This was a huge rip off. I thought I could use this to get in shape for my wedding and it looks like I just wasted a hundred plus dollars on some bogus workout plan. I will stick to excersising like normal since EA can't seem to get it right.|||I find that resetting the remote in the Wii setting where you adjust the sensitivity of the remote has helped me get through this issue. :)
